Below is an email from Edward’s attorney’s files, which he requested disclosure of in 2024. As also outlined in his sworn affidavit, this email alerted his attorney that a 2019 police incident involving Becca existed and that, according to Edward, she had lied to the police to protect Geoff from going back to prison. Despite this information, neither defense counsel nor the State ever pulled the report or investigated what happened, even though Geoff was also on probation at the time of this alleged assault.

       Our investigative team, led by Edward's wife, recently located what appears to be the matching 2019 incident. To avoid delays and to be as reasonable as possible, we submitted two separate Public Information Act requests to the Amarillo Police Department. The first request was broad, asking for the full report, the suspect’s name, the names and notes from all people interviewed, detective notes and follow up, and the narrative. APD chose to withhold that request and sent it to the Texas Attorney General, which can delay disclosure for up to 55 business days. Anticipating that, we also submitted a second and much narrower request for basic information only—specifically the names of all individuals interviewed, contacted, or identified by officers, as well as the name of the detained individual referenced in APD’s own media release. Under Texas Government Code §552.108(c), those names are not exempted and must be released in every case, even when the investigation is inactive or no charges were filed.

       APD responded to the narrowed request by providing only a one-page report listing the victim’s name and the old 2019 media release. They stated they did not have to name the suspect because no arrest was made. A detained person qualifies as a suspect under §552.108(c), and the names of all persons interviewed or contacted must also be released as basic information. None of those names were provided. APD responded to the narrowed request by providing only a one-page report listing the victim’s name and the old 2019 media release. What makes this response even more unusual is the contradiction in the two documents APD did release.

        This inconsistency raises real concerns about what is missing from the record and why APD is refusing to release the most basic information required by law. The incident report labels the case as a justifiable homicide--it's unclear when that was entered--but contains almost no details, while the same-day media release openly states that someone was detained and that investigators were requesting public tips. If the case was truly straightforward and justified, the lack of transparency is difficult to understand — and the secrecy only creates more questions.

        If Becca and Geoff were interviewed in this case, this would be the very 2019 incident Edward referenced — the one he never knew was a homicide. Any statements she made could include false statements to law enforcement that were never disclosed to the defense and never presented at trial. That would mean the State’s only witness in Edward’s case may already have been on record — according to Edward’s account — giving statements to police in a homicide investigation involving Geoff that were not accurate, and Edward maintains that Becca is protecting Geoff again in his case.
